Thanks! It works now (if it's right when expat-1.95.4-1.sh ends with: exit
0).

Could somebody please explain the occurence of the error when compiling php
(even with reinstalled expat package)(used command:
./configure --with-apxs --without-mysql --with-pgsql --with-expat-dir):
...
configure:73895: checking whether to enable XML support
configure:73934: result: yes
checking external libexpat install dir... yes
configure: error: not found. Please reinstall the expat distribution.

Does the following problem correlate with a missing package and/or configure
option of php (if yes, which one)? Could it be a problem with expat?
